It's official: Lublin is the European Capital of Culture 2029! Today at the Centre for Culture in Lublin, where the competition team is based, a press conference attended by the city’s mayor, Krzysztof Żuk, was held.

Rafał Koziński – plenipotentiary of the Mayor of Lublin for the ESK 2029 programme, and the Manager of the Centre for Culture in Lublin – emphasized that the success would not have been possible without the joint, long-term work and commitment of many people, institutions, and communities of the city.
